God\u2019s arms are strong and powerful enough to carry me through any hardship I face. God\u2019s arms are gentle and kind enough to comfort me when I mourn. God\u2019s arms are ready to catch me if I fall. They are ready to lift me up to heaven. They hold me close. They provide refuge. They deliver from evil. They keep me safe and secure. They bring peace in a chaotic world. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">God\u2019s everlasting arms are able to keep all of us from falling, and present us faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy (Jude verses 24-25). Plus, more than this, God\u2019s arms offer us everlasting love (Jeremiah 31:3).
